Wonderful Women Wednesday: Get Moving, Get Fit
If you would like to know how you can get fit with exercising just 3 days a week, you’ve come to the right place!
You don’t have to run every day to burn off massive amounts of calories. If you do each of these exercises listed below once a week, with resting at least a day in between, Health Magazine says you can get fit! Never try an exercise routine without first consulting your physician.
Run 1: Pick Up Speed
Warm up with a slow jog for 10 - 15 minutes. Repeat this pattern 3 - 4 times; 2 minutes at a hard effort followed by 4 minutes easy running or walking to recover. finish with a 10-minute jog or walk to cool down.
Run 2: Add Hills
Jog for 10 minutes to warm up. Then run a hilly course outdoors (or if you live in a flat area, hit the treadmill at an incline of 2 - 4%) for 20 minutes. Choose hills that take 3 - 4 minutes to run up and focus on your forum. Shorten your stride, pump your arms, and don’t let your upper body slump. After you are done, jog or walk for 10 minutes to cool down.
Run 3: Go Long
During the first week, run at a slow, conversational pace for 40 minutes. Add 5 minutes to the run each week until you reach 60 minutes. If you’re new to running, power walk for two minutes every 5 - 8 minutes to increase your distance comfortably while reducing any risk of injury.
